Season of street dust is here – sand is removed when weather allows

01.04.2025

The street dust season is here. 

To improve air quality in the busiest streets of the city centre, sand is bound with watered down calcium chloride solution before and during removal. 

The city aims to start removing sand on the busiest streets and cycleways in the coming days. Large-scale sand removal will begin once snow has properly melted on the streets and night frosts end.
